The Indian team management, under head coach Gautam Gambhir, has recently introduced the Bronco Test as the latest means to determine the fitness of a player. Commonly used in rugby and football, this test evaluates a player’s aerobic endurance and recovery capacity. It requires completing five shuttle runs of 20 m, 40 m, and 60 m each, performed consecutively without rest. In total, the five sets cover 1,200 m, with the completion time recorded, with faster times indicating higher fitness levels. Now, ex-India star Manoj Tiwary has made the sensational claim that this Test was introduced to remove Rohit Sharma from the team. In an interaction with Crictracker, Manoj Tiwary said that Gautam Gambhir's team management introduced the Bronco Test for players like Rohit Sharma, who they do not want to keep in plans for the ODI World Cup 2027. "I think it will be very difficult to keep Virat Kohli out of the plans for the 2027 World Cup. But I have a doubt that they are going to look at Rohit Sharma in the scheme of things because... See, I'm a very keen observer of what's going on in Indian cricket. And I believe this Bronco Test, which was introduced a few days back, is for players like Rohit Sharma and someone who I believe they don't want to be a part of the team in the future. And that's why it has been introduced," Tiwary said. Rohit Sharma has retired from both Tests and T20Is, and only plays ODI cricket right now. The incumbent Indian captain was rumoured to play till the 2027 ODI World Cup, but there have been reports that he might retire after the ODI series vs Australia in October.

He also expressed doubt as to whether Rohit Sarma would be able to pass such a difficult fitness Test. "You know, the Bronco Test will be one of the toughest fitness test parameters that has been introduced by Indian cricket. But the only question is, why now? Why not when your new head coach got the assignment from the very first series? Whose idea is it? Who introduced this? Who enforced this Bronco Test a few days back? So it is a question for which I don't have an answer, but the observation says that it is going to be difficult for Rohit Sharma if he doesn't work really hard on his fitness. And I think he will be stopped at the Bronco Test," he added.
